U1.05 Bell 2018 ReNUWIt Annual Meeting Poster
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
Agriculture is one of the most significant ways that we interact with the environment. It is responsible for an estimated one-third of global energy use, two-thirds of global water withdrawals, 90% of consumptive water use, half of the earth’s habitable land area, and at least one fourth of greenhouse gas emissions. Driven by population growth and the rise of the global middle class, food production must increase by 70% by 2050 in order to meet global demand. Meeting this demand in a sustainable manner will require an integrated approach to food, energy, and water systems (FEWS).
This research seeks to identify system synergies between the food, energy, and water sectors, focusing on case studies in drought-prone California and opportunities to sustain high-value fruit and vegetable production.
